Whenever I open up PDFs within the Firefox browser, they have a black background and the text and images do not appear. I can copy the text and images out of the pdf and into a word document and it works out fine. Also opening it up on other applications works out fine. Attached is what happens when I open up a known working pdf in Firefox. The browser version is the current version, 135.0.

For the past few weeks Firefox has been crashing and freezing often. Crashes are worst when trying to access Protonmail, which almost always crashes the tab instantly. Freezes happen most often when browsing Reddit, and also when watching Youtube, but crashes and freezes can happen on almost any website.

I have tried changing profiles, refreshing and uninstalling/reinstalling, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse over time.

Here are some recent crash reports:

Will be grateful if someone can help me get to the bottom of this Thanks

I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

On Feb 13th I went to my website at MyHeritage.com, to which I'm always logged in, to find that a few seconds after it loads it becomes all greyed out and I can't access anything. I had been on the site a couple of weeks earlier with no problems.

I removed the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" and I turned off AdBlocker for the site but the problem persists. I have logged out and then logged in - same problem. I turned off my computer and restarted it - same problem.

When I went to log in to my account at MyHeritage using my Chrome browser I encountered the same problem of a greyed out page BUT there was a banner stating something about cookies and when I clicked the "I understand" button the greyed out page cleared and I was able to access my account.

However, Firefox is my default browser and I want to be able to access this page using Firefox. It seems to have something to do with cookies.

this site: https://tzmweq115cajqd.networkcycle.co.in/ keeps sending me malicious and unsolicited pop-ups How do I stop it

Hello!

I have Firefox in all my units and it has worked very well over the years. Until I activated Avast SecureLine VPN on my computer HP Microsoft 11.

When the computer is connected to wifi/internet and VPN is activated, the Firefoxprogram won´t start correct. It says I am offline. If I then turn VPN of and update the page it will work immediately. As soon the page start the update I can turn VPN on and it will work on every link and page.

What can I do to get rid of this problem?

I can see no way to download passwords or bookmarks on my android phone, so I can email them to myself, open on my PC and add them to PC Firefox. I have signed in to the same account on both devices, and turned sync on on both devices. I receive no passwords or bookmarks on the PC. I had to re-install Windows 11, and now I cant get my passwords or bookmarks onto my PC.

Cannot take screenshot of passwords on android - screenshot is blank.

Got new desktop and cannot retrive my bookmarks. Granted old machine was 16 yrs old. I'd figure Firefox would have have a back up system. I'm 70 years young and this has got me scraching my head!!!! Not a computer expert. Thanks George

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

Why does Firefox 135.0l not allow sending emails via Outlook?

Lost Bookmarks after Microsoft upgrade(?) Since I'm using the latest version of Windows I don't know what to call what happened that came by way of Microsoft. So far as I know, I'm the only one reporting this. It would seem that if this was a change initiated by Microsoft it should have affected millions of users.

I used to play World of Tank and look at YouTube on my second screen. Everything went smooth untill this week. YouTube on Firefox on my second screen is lagging or freezing. I tried Opera, I tried Edge it worked fine, but with Firefox, it is no more possible to play YouTube on my second screen while playing. It is not a matter of graphic hardware as this issue only happen with Firefox. I tried to deactivate every module and to reinstall Firefox (either the Beta version) but still got the same lagging and freeze on YouTube. Do you need anything that can help you to investigate this issue, this is really terribly frustrating and boring.

Asking after trying way too many things FIREFOX 135.0.1 (64-bit) lates version and fully updated.

Playing Youtube Videos fails as the video keeps loading forever.

It happens randomly but often. It could happen trying to play the video the first time (keeps loading forever) or if the video is playing ok and you try to search any frame in the video or jump some time in the video, the frame stops and keeps loading forever.

I suspect it could be an extension because if I use Firefox in troubleshooting mode it works. However I tried to disable extensions one by one until none was enabled and still fails. Tried all options in the proxy. BRAVE works ok (but I installed it fresh to check another browser, I still prefer Firefox)

The issue happens only on Youtube. Youtube premium. Images attached of an example video that got stuck and loading and the list of extensions that I have, I tried to DISABLE ALL thes EXTENSIONS and still fails (???)

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?

When I navigate to youtube and try to watch a video, the player does not load. It just shows white in the space where the player should be. No video, no audio, no nothing. No matter what video I click, the same thing happens. The only workaround I have found is that if I go to a page with an embedded youtube video, and click the "watch on youtube" link that appears in it, it will load a youtube page that can play videos normally. I can use that page to navigate youtube and it will operate normally. However if I type in youtube.com or get to the site some other way, the issue happens where it is only white space. It is very frustrating.

Today Firefox crashed twice and a Tab crashed once! What's going on with Firefox? It's especially disurbing to have it crash during a long video and then you have to find where you left off.

Firefox will not longer close without also closing my pinned tabs which pretty much defeats the purpose of pinning tabs for later and makes it much harder to keep track of things. I didn't notice the first time and lost my pinned tabs that had been there for months, I immediately put them back but now everytime I try exiting firefox it informs me i'm about to close however many tabs are open + the pinned tabs. Does anyone know how to solve the problem/what might be causing it.

I can only access my Yahoo email page in Firefox private browsing mode. Please help. This has gone on about a week. I have cleared cache, reinstalled Firefox anew, tried everything until I saw a discussion on line about trying private mode. Bill Schuetter
